v2.c13.s3.55
The works on royal polity deal with architectural matters in a more than casual way. The Kauṭilīya *Artha-śāstra*, for instance, devotes some seven chapters to the subject, containing a large number of structural details. There are interesting descriptions of forts, fortified cities, town-planning, and military and residential buildings.¹
